I've learned riding last April this year and used to be on cable park. Can do ollie and hit the kicker but still i cant get much AIR. This is only my 2nd session behind the boat. Kindly point out my mistakes and things that needs improvement. Very Happy Cool

You're edging way too fast into the wake. You gotta flatten out for a few seconds and then edge in progressively. The reason you aren't getting a W2W is because your line gets slack in the middle of your edge. Start with a nice and smooth edge in and make sure you have the most aggressive edge when you hit the wake. You also need to stand up tall once you hit the top of the wake.

Watch this video and look how he does a nice, smooth progressive edge (skip past the first 2-3 minutes - it's just a song):

Nice! thanks Rampage!, will try this out this coming Saturday, hopefully i'll gain better AIR. Btw, have you notice im jumping from the soft wake, should i shorten the line instead for better pop?

How fast are you riding at? I would shorten the rope a bit and make sure you can w2w. Then, once you got that down, lengthen the rope.
